Ayala Gazit: STUDIO CONFIDENTIAL

Ayala Gazit and I had a great in-depth conversation about her seminal projects, discussing what it felt like to have been mentored through the first one and then working more independently on the second one. 

Ayala is a Berlin based photographic artist and educator. We are also close friends who were Tierney Fellowship recipients for 2009, Ayala from the School of Visual Arts, and myself from the University of the Witwatersrand. We met in a Starbucks in NYC. 

We shared memories of the arc of our careers between graduating, working independently and what it takes to get into the role of mentor and teacher.
